In the early morning of April 29, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and the Knicks narrowly defeated the 76ers 97-92 on the road, rewriting the series score to 3-1, just one step away from advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
In this game, Knicks star Brunson played more than 43 minutes, hitting 18 of 34 shots, including 2 of 8 three-pointers and 9 of 11 free throws, and got 47 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 block.
In the first three quarters of the game, when the rest of the team was not feeling well, it was he who scored consecutive points to help the team struggle, and in the final moments of the decisive victory, he hit consecutive key shots, and made two free throws in the final moment to seal the victory for the team. The stats show that when Brunson is on the floor, the Knicks outscore opponents by as many as 10 points, with the highest plus/minus of any of the team's five starters.
Brunson's 47 points in this game not only set a new career playoff single-game scoring high, but also set a new single-game playoff scoring record in Knicks history. On top of that, he became the first player in franchise history to score at least 40 points and 10 assists in a single playoff game, and he also recorded at least 30 points and 10 assists in three playoff games in his career, which is also a Knicks all-time record.
It is worth mentioning that Brunson's outstanding performance not only conquered his opponents, but even won the respect of the away fans. In the final quarter of the game, when Brunson walked to the free throw line, the Philadelphia fans actually gave him an MVP cheer, which is extremely rare in the NBA, and it is enough to prove Brunson's heroic performance that night.
The Knicks will return home to face the 76ers on May 1, and it will be interesting to see if Brunson can lead the team to the next level and advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
